A TASTE OF SPORTSMAN’S PARADISE

Lake Bruin State Park

Welcome to North Louisiana, where culinary traditions are as bold and soulful as the piney woods and river bends
that shape the region. Here, you’ll find a fusion of Delta blues, Southern comfort, and a generous helping of hospitality.

Whether it’s slow-smoked barbecue, hand-rolled tamales, or fried catfish straight from the bayou, North Louisiana
serves up dishes rooted in tradition and perfected over generations. From Shreveport’s spirited food scene to the deep
family recipes of Monroe, this is where down-home flavor meets heartfelt storytelling.

In Monroe-West Monroe, the twin cities along the Ouachita River, culinary creativity thrives. At Restaurant Cotton,

housed in a restored historic building, diners enjoy Southern classics with a modern twist, such as duck wraps and
shrimp and grits. Nearby, Warehouse No. 1 Restaurant offers riverside dining with a menu featuring fresh seafood
and steaks, providing a perfect blend of rustic charm and fine cuisine. For those craving smoky flavors, JAC’s Craft

Smokehouse in West Monroe serves up tender brisket and pulled pork in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

Shreveport-Bossier boasts a dynamic food scene that reflects the area’s diverse cultural influences. Herby-K’s, a
beloved eatery since 1936, is famous for its Shrimp Buster po’boy, a must-try for seafood enthusiasts. For a taste of
authentic Southern cuisine, Orlandeaux’s Café offers hearty gumbo and stuffed shrimp, continuing a family tradition

that spans generations. Crawdaddy’s Kitchen is another local favorite, serving up spicy crawfish, catfish, and other
Cajun delights in a casual, friendly environment.

From the soulful melodies of local music to the rich flavors of its diverse dishes, North Louisiana invites you to savor a
culinary journey like no other.
